Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book records an 1803 trip from Barcelona through Montserrat to Valencia, providing a rare glimpse of Spain during a vastly different time period. The author's account of his journey captures not only the customs of the Catalan people and the grandeur of the landscape, but also the political and social climate of the era. While Spain is known to be steeped in tradition, seeing it through the eyes of a person who lived over 200 years ago provides a fresh perspective. These observations are a nuanced view of the ways a pre-industrial society functioned, as seen through the inquiring mind of an early 19th-century traveler, and offers the reader an experience of Spain that is both vibrant and enlightening.
